How many of us have seen those annoying NES Controller shirts or hats that all exclaim: "Classically Trained!" Now, I do like those shirts but i feel the need to make a point; "GAMES ARE FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY!!!" So until all games and systems reach, Hallowed Status. Like religion as with Jedi. Or, in like the old, but infamous PS9 commercials. Where a PS9 can tap directly into your central nervous system. So it may as well be religion. Why do they seemingly only make games which make every attempt to take over ones life?

As stated I am a ****cally trained gamer. I remember playing Super Mario Brothers on the NES. Yes, I know that makes me old but it was a simple and fun game. I remember and love the sensation of being able to game for anywhere from one hour to twelve. It may not have been everyday, but close enough. And regardless I had fun and also was able to have a life outside of gaming. So I guess there is my main point. I want to game. I love to game. But, I do not want a game to become my life. So where have all the simple games gone? . . .
